do you ever think about how atsumu went on crushing on his clean obsessed captain to being in love with his clean obsessed teammate . man’s got a Type

He likes a man with some structure to their lives to temper some of his own chaotic tendencies <3 Opposites attract babeyyyyy

if you still know, for comparison how many notebooks was the first part of cj?

I do still know!! Still got all the notebooks. Cj pt1 took up a little over 10 notebooks. As in, like, 10 whole notebooks, then around 8 or 9 pages of an 11th. So the fact that I'm more than halfway through pt2 and it's only 2 and a half notebooks right now really shows how much shorter it's gonna be, hope you guys don't mind that 🥺🥺

[skkymyts]

feel free to completely ignore this question and i totally dont mean to be pushy, but when do you envision starting to post cj pt 2? is it after you've finished the entire fic or some time else? super sorry if this sounds like im being pushy! i love cj and really all of your works and im so freaking excited to read more!

I don't think you're being pushy, I understand wondering about this. I am planning to finish writing the whole of part 2 before posting, though. I think it's better for me and all of you if I do it like that. There's only three "videos" left to write including the one I'm currently working on, but considering my track record, I probably won't be posting until around late December or early January, sorry m(>_<)m

[skkymyts]

Unfortunately, I'm gonna have to put writing on pause for a bit (just for this week) because my mom's paying me to do some paperwork and I need that cash to buy more notebooks and pens to keep writing. I'm doing this for y'all mwah

On the bright side: you guys remember how I changed the chapter count for It Happened In A Dream because I hated the final two chapters? I figured out what was missing from one of them to make it suck less and I'm gonna rewrite it after I finish the current cj pt2 chap to add it back in. Wanna know what the scene was missing?

A leash <3

[skkymyts]

do you have a current word count for cj pt.2?

Unfortunately no, I like to write my first drafts with pen and paper which means I have no idea how many words there are rn. I could give you a page count if you want, but I dont think that'll tell you much.

I'm using 80 sheet 216 x 280 mm notebooks and have so far managed to fill around 2 and a half of them with cj pt2.

Also I'm running low on notebooks. I'm gonna cry about it soon. Just for fun.

okay so at the end of JACKALS there was definitely a timeskip to olympia right?? does that mean we're not getting the stuff from the end to then or is it just. a really small fucking timeskip and I'm just dumb lol

Not gonna lie, I'm also very confused by my own timeline, so apologies if the ensuing explanation makes no sense.

The bit at the end of cj isn't really a timeskip so much as a teaser. The next part isn't gonna have anything to do with the Olympics since it's still mostly set in 2019 with a little bit of 2020. Instead of the weekly videos in part 1, I'm gonna be doing a video every "two months" within the story because if you expect me to come up with video ideas for the entire span of time between the end of cj (May 3 2019) and the beginning of the olympics (minus covid which might have been around June ish 2020 idfk) then you are very very VERY much mistaken. I don't have nearly enough brain cells for that.

So there's gonna be a lot of timeskipping for part 2 but it starts pretty much right where cj leaves off. We're not gonna get ti the olympics until part 3.

I hope this made some semblance of sense. If it doesn't, feel free to ask more questions <3

Discovered a new type of mine. Annoying little shits that talk the talk, but walk the walk even better. Obnoxious fuckers that are confident for good reason.

I wanna add something here about being attracted to people with power due to my own powerlessness, but I'd much rather put that thought in a box and never look at it again.

[skkymyts]

Rule of three, motherfuckers, Yuuji's been declared dead twice now without him actually being dead, which means the next time he's declared dead, he's going to really be dead. We all know it's gonna happen, but also ✨ fuck ✨

[skkymyts]

Can I say that Yuuji has mommy issues? Like, I understand that technically he's never met his mom, but all things considered, is that a thing that I can say? I feel like it should be.

The other day I was reading a fanfic before bed and I looked up and thought oh did someone leave the light on outside it was not the garage light it was, in fact, the goddamn sun.

[skkymyts]

NO WAIT I JUST REACHED THE CHAPTER WHERE THEY PLAYED THE KINGS GAME AND BOKUTO CAUGHT THE GARTER THINGY ATSUMU AND KOMORI PLAYED DOES THIS MEAN ITS BOKUTO AND AKAASHI GETTING MARRIED SOON——— at this point i’m just throwing out names

👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

is my only response to that

[skkymyts]

hi again!! i've managed to translate the first chapter and it was so fun to work with (much more than books i translate on my actual job lol)!! the thing is i'm not really good with html, so it doesn't look perfect for now (how to put indents for the whole paragraph?). i've asked readers for help in the note before the chapter, so i hope to fix everything before i post the 2nd chapter. aaanyways, i wanted to send you the link, but tumblr doesn't allow me to do it. can I dm it to you somehow?

Happy to provide you with some fun!!

Someone's probably told you already, but I got html details from the fic that inspired Channel Jackal in the first place: Famous V-League Players Make Fools of Themselves on Twitter dot com by crone_zone. They put the specific html format thing they use in one their chapter notes. A true angel. I worship the ground they walk on for sharing that with us.

Pretty sure you can just dm it to me on here, if you want. Or tell me what to look up so I can find it myself. I don't mind either way <3

[skkymyts]

i’m rereading jackals again and i got to the part where they played the english charade game & omi had to “propose” to atsumu, and then i remembered that you did research for some engagement rings and 👀👀 is atsumu getting the real deal?? IS HE GETTING PROPOSED TO???

Maybe, but what makes you think it's gonna be right away? I like making you guys wait <3

[skkymyts]

i’m so excited for the JACKALS sequel because i wanna know what happens with shion and adriah SO BAD 😭😭 i can’t believe i went into this fic not even knowing that ship existed and came out with them consuming every single thought of mine I LOVE THEM SO MUCH AND I WOULD SACRIFICE MY LEFT KIDNEY TO KNOW HOW THEY GET TOGETHER

I love that you're bringing them up right now just as I'm beginning the next chapter.......a valentine's chapter.............what do you think will happen in it 👀👀👀

[skkymyts]

I decided to rewrite part of the companion smut piece to cj pt2 and managed to finish it quick. I'm still not 100% happy with it, but it's good enough for me be comfortable with leaving it alone until I have to actually upload it at which point I'm probably gonna rewrite a bit more of it.

I think part of the reason I struggled so much with this is because I got an idea for a new fic and it's been all I could fucking think about.

The very first chapter notes of Channel Jackal featured me saying something about how the general outline for cj came to me pretty much in a daze and the exact same thing fucking happened again when I saw fanart for this ship that I didn't even ship at that time and thought up a little scene that I then built half a fanfic out of in the span of a couple hours. The other half was a bit more murky, but I've since fleshed it out. The fanart itself looks nothing like what I came up with.

I wanna write it so fucking bad, but I know myself and I know that if I don't finish cj pt2 first I'm never gonna fucking finish it. There's three chapters of cj pt2 left to do and I'm really excited for the one I'm about to start writing (spoilers: it's another Valentine's chapter wonder what's about to happen 👀) but also that other fic is fucking haunting my every thought.

So, I'll finish cj pt2, do the stupid fic in my head, then cj pt3.

I didn't even ship them. And I don't wanna tell you guys what ship it is because you'll judge me for it and I'll deserve the judgment, I agree, but I don't wanna deal with it so if I do end up finishing that other fic and deciding to upload it I might make a different ao3 account for it and never tell y'all what it is. I'll probably flip a coin to decide.

Why must I be this way. I'm so fucking tired.
